Chapter 17~ Mistake
Seven wonderful years have past since the day of Yasuo's birth. Anzu and the three males were now twenty-six years old, and were living happy lives. They always were together enjoying what life had to offer. Anzu and Bakura have become protective parents and love their son dearly. They all have changed, in some ways. Malik was still immature, but he improved a bit. Seto was the same, still the high priest, but he learned to loosen up and he and Malik were best friends. They were always together trying to create mischief…well Malik is, Seto just follows. Anzu and Bakura have become great parents, and are somewhat the same as they were before. Yasuo was still the same. Polite to those he likes, rude to those who anger him. He showed great respect for his parents and loved to hang around with Malik and Seto. All five were one big family, who cared for one another and always try to have a fun day. But something seemed to bother Anzu, and it didn't go unnoticed.
Actually, she has been feeling depressed for a few days, Bakura and the others tried their best to cheer her up, but nothing seemed to work. She wouldn't say what was bothering her, and they couldn't figure it out at all. Bakura was worried that she felt unhappy and wishes to leave, but what were the chances of that. But he couldn't help to ask her one day, and it made her laugh, which was the first in quite a while. She told him she would never think of leaving him, and she was happy, but something just made her feel a bit sad. He really wanted her to tell him, but she rather not.
Bakura wasn't the only one who wanted to know, Yasuo tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't say anything. Malik almost got her to say, but when he tricked her she got angry and started to shout at him. Seto wanted to know too, but he knew it wasn't his business; he will wait until she is ready to talk. Malik agreed with Seto after a while, he thought Anzu was acting this way because it was a woman thing or something. Bakura didn't give up, but he didn't pressure Anzu to tell him, Yasuo did the same.
A month and Anzu still felt the way she did, but she tried to act differently. She didn't want her family and friends to worry anymore, so she tried acting cheery and normal. It worked, but Bakura still knew something was wrong and really hoped that she will tell him soon. But she never said anything, so he had to ask again, he had to know. He though it would be best to ask her when they were alone, most likely it would be best to ask her when they were going to sleep. So one night, he finally began the conversation.
"Anzu?" he asked, as he lay on his bed. Anzu who was changing into her night clothes, just hummed. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure," Anzu simply said as she was done dressing herself and got on the bed. She made sure she was facing him.
"What's wrong?" Bakura asked simply, but Anzu acted as if she didn't understand.
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. You have been acting quite gloomy during the past month. You really should tell me, let it out, maybe you'll feel better," Bakura hoped that worked, but she looked a little hesitant.
"It's really no big deal, it's just…just don' worry about it," Anzu told him, but Bakura didn't give up.
"Anzu, tell me what's bothering you and I'm sure I can help," Anzu looked at him. She knew she could tell him, but then she knew that they wouldn't b able to do it. She really wants to do on thing, and it has been bothering because she can't do it. It was all said during Seto's plan.
"I want," Anzu began and Bakura looked attentively at her, "I really wish to see my parents. I want to go back and see them, but…"
"We can't," Bakura finished, but he saw how sad Anzu had become because of that. So this was the reason she was feeling depressed, she missed her family. Why wouldn't she, it's been about ten years since she has last seen them.
He felt bad for Anzu, but what could he do? If they go back to that city, there are chances they could get caught. Ever since they faked Anzu's death, Seto had told them that the pharaoh had made the guards work harder. There were more roaming the city, they were better trained and it showed. There have been cases where thieves have been caught, and usually they would be able to get away, even those who are experts at thievery were caught. It is rare for anyone who lived in Crime to go to that city, most of the time, people would to other cuties that are a bit farther. It was too risky to go to Chao, but he couldn't stand seeing Anzu this way.
"We should go," Bakura said simply but Anzu looked surprised at what he said.
"Are you serious, but we can't, if we go…" Anzu was stopped by Bakura, he already the risks.
"I know that, Anzu. But I really think you should see you're parents. But, they'll be very surprised when they see you, since you are supposed to be dead."
"That's true, but are you sure I should go?" Anzu asked, she really wanted to, but if it was too risky, she wouldn't go.
"You're not going on your own. I'm coming too, as well as Yasuo," Bakura said, and he could see that she was about to protest, but he stopped her, "I know if all of us go, it'll be hard to get by. But, I think your parents deserve to see their grandchild, and I might be able to get you to the house without being noticed."
"Alright, then, we go. But we better not tell Seto, he will not allow it," Anzu told him. Bakura nodded his head, kissed her, said goodnight, and they both went to sleep. Anzu was happy, but she couldn't get the feeling something is going to happen…something bad. She wished she didn't tell Bakura what was bothering her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was the next day, and at the city of Chao, a special event is going to take place tomorrow. Yami, sitting calmly, is listening to all of his workers about the event. It was going to be a parade, something that Yami had thought of. The reason for it is because he realized that the people of this city looked very gloomy and thought this could cheer them up. He also thought it might cheer him up. Ever since Anzu died, he couldn't get his mind off of her, he has been depressed ever since her death. He missed her and only wished that he could have saved her the night she was attacked. If only she was still here, right now he'd be enjoying himself with her, preparing this event.
Yami stood up from his throne, the people who were talking all left, and went to finish off some things off. He walked around the palace observing what people were doing. It has been very busy in the palace, movement everywhere, and the parade was all the people could talk about in the city. Well, he might as well enjoy himself, it might help to get mind off of things. He sighed as he walked some more and then he spotted Jounouchi, trying hard to control some horses. Yami didn't know he wandered out of the palace.
"Need help, Jou?" he asked the struggling Jou.
"Nah, Yami, its okay," Jou said when he finally got the horse calmed down. "That's the last time I insult this horse," Yami couldn't help but chuckle.
"So how is everything going here?" he asked.
"Great, these horses should be ready by parade time," Jou answered.
"Good to hear. I hope that everything will go well on that day."
"I'm sure it will, don't worry," Jou assured. Yami nodded his head, and left Jou to his work. Yami didn't know why, but he really felt that something was going to happen, and it involved someone he knew. But who could it be? He didn't know whether to worry or not.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Anzu and Bakura woke up the next morning they quickly remembered what they discussed last night. They talked a bit more about in the morning and have decided that they would go back that day. It would be a short visit, depending how everything goes. They both told Malik and Yasuo about it, Malik didn't think it was a good idea but Yasuo really wanted to go.
"You mean I can meet my grandparents! That's great, we should go," Yasuo cheered and really hoped to go.
"I don't think it's a good idea, you don't know what might happen," Malik pointed out, "and besides, what are you going to tell Seto. You know he is going to be upset about it, and if he comes and you're not here, I'm going to have to suffer."
"But Seto won't come, Mawik," Yasuo said, he knew how to pronounce his name properly, but he was used to calling him that.
"What do you mean, dear," Anzu asked.
"Seto said that he won't be coming for the next few days. He said an event was going to happen and he needed to be there, especially since the pharaoh told him to. Seto told you that," Yasuo said.
"Oh, yeah, that's true he did," Anzu remembered, he said it a few days ago.
"So, we can go and Seto won't know, are you happy now, Malik?" Bakura said.
"Yeah, yeah, but I still think you shouldn't go. You never know what might happen," Malik warned.
"We know that, but I really want to see my parents, Malik. I miss them, I really just want to know how they are," Anzu told him, and Malik understood, but he really hoped they got there safely.
"Fine, just go, it's not like I can stop you," he said as he went to get something to eat. Anzu smiled and she looked at Bakura and Yasuo who were also smiling. They all decided to leave when they finished breakfast.
Once they were full of food in their stomach, they all went to get ready to leave. Anzu and Bakura wore their cloaks, as well as Yasuo who got one form his mother, since he asked for one. He knew someday it would come in handy. The three looked at each other and were ready to leave; hopefully they wouldn't attract attention to themselves.
"I'm sure you won't," said Malik, "I heard a lot of people have been wearing cloaks, its fashion to them." Anzu and Bakura just though tit ws weird, but they were thankful.
"Okay, then let's go," Bakura said and the three went out the door, and walked to Chao.
It didn't take long to get there, they were rushing, but when they reached the edge of the hill and looked down at the city they had to be careful. Bakura went into the city first and told Anzu and Yasuo to follow when he told them to. He had to make there where no guards around. Luckily for them, none were in sight. They moved quickly, they would ignore places where there were many people, and when they finally could see Anzu house far in the distance, they stopped. They didn't realize, but they stopped in the alley where they first met.
"Are you ready to go?" Bakura asked.
"I don't know, I'm nervous," she said honestly.
"Don't worry mother, everything will be fine. We're here, so we might as well go," Yasuo comforted her. She smiled, took a deep breath and nodded to Bakura that she was ready to go. Bakura nodded as well, and left there side as he went quickly to the next building. He looked around, no one to be seen; he could tell that there was probably no one near Anzu's old house. So he told his family to follow him, and they went directly to the house. When they were in front of it, Anzu didn't know whether she could knock, but she had to, they were there; this is why they took this risk. Bakura looked at her, it was now or never.
"Come on, Anzu, knock on the door and you'll see them. They will be thrilled to see you," he told her, so she took a deep breath and knocked.
They waited for a few moments, and then the door opened. At the door stood Anzu's mother, who had gotten quite old, Anzu noticed that hr hair was getting white and wrinkles were noticeable. But she still looked the same to Anzu, she was so happy to see her.
"May I help you," Mrs. Mazaki asked. With hesitation, Anzu took off her hood and it made the old woman gasped. She knew who it was, even if Anzu's hair was much longer than before and looked much older, she knew by looking at her eyes that this was her daughter. "A…An…Anzu?" The woman felt like she was about to cry, her daughter was suppose to be dead, but here before her stood her daughter, older and healthy.
"Hello mom," Anzu could only say, but saying 'mom' made Mrs. Mazaki begin to tear.
"It is you, I can't believe it. Oh Anzu," Anzu's mother embraced her daughter and held her tightly, crying, never feeling so happy. Anzu hugged her back and could feel a bit of tears fall from her eyes. After staying like that for a while, Mrs. Mazaki let go and just looked at Anzu. "Oh my, I'm sorry, I can't believe I let you stay out here, come in, come in. I want to hear everything; I want to know what happened."
"Mom, wait, before…I need you to meet some people," Anzu told her, her mother looked confused, then she finally noticed two other figures standing at her door. She didn't like where this was going.
"Alright, dear, then get inside," she told them and they all came in. All of them took a seat at the table and sat down quietly for a moment. "Well, before you begin, I should get you're father." Mrs. Mazaki got up and went to her room, where a sleeping Mr. Mazaki was. After a few moments they heard a yell and Mr. Mazaki came in running and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Hi, dad," Anzu said, and her father practically did the same thing as her mother, he embraced her and held her tightly. Bakura and Yasuo, who still had their hoods on, just looked at each other, feeling a bit sorry for Anzu.
"I can't believe it's you. I thought…thought you were, oh Anzu, you don't know how much we missed you," Mr. Mazaki said to her, Anzu just smiled and hugged him.
"Anzu, you have a lot to explain," Anzu's mom said, and Anzu nodded her head.
"Yeah, so you guys better take a seat," both her parents did that, looking at the hooded figures, wondering who they were. "Well you must be wondering who these people are," both her parents nodded. "Before I tell you, you have to promise me that you won't freak, okay."
"All right, we promise," Mr. Mazaki said.
"Guys take off you're hoods," Bakura and Yasuo did as she said and revealed their faces. Anzu's parents only knew one, and seeing him they freaked out.
"Oh my Ra, it's you! That thief…you took her didn't you…" Mrs. Mazaki accused. Her husband was trying to calm her down, but he was glaring at Bakura as if he was accusing him of something too.
"Mom, you promised you wouldn't freak and he didn't take me anywhere," Anzu's mother calmed down a bit.
"Why is he here Anzu?" Mrs. Mazaki strictly said.
"Because, mom, he's my husband," Anzu really thought it would be hard to say those words in front of her parents, but she managed it.
"What?!!" both her parents shouted.
"You have to be joking," Mr. Mazaki said.
"No, I'm not, and the boy you see is my son," Anzu told them, now they were more shocked, but they didn't say anything. The room was in a very uncomfortable silence, but Bakura broke it.
"You shouldn't be upset with Anzu," he began, "she only did what she thought was best. I love your daughter, she loves me, and we have a son, who we love. I just hope you can accept that."
"Did he rape you; is that the reason why you married him?" Mrs. Mazaki asked.
"No, of course not! Mother, I married him because I love him, like he said. We met and we fell in love," Anzu told her.
"But, Anzu, of all people, I thought you…" Mr. Mazaki was cut off.
"Dad, you love mom and she loves you, and that's why you married her. That's the reason I married Bakura. You may not agree with it, but I don't care. I have been living a happy life with my family, they are everything to me, and even if you say something it wouldn't matter. I only came here to see you guys again because I missed you, but if you never want me to come back, I understand," Anzu parents looked at each other, they knew their daughter well enough to know that she would make decisions carefully, so maybe her decision was very well thought out.
"We want to see you again, but we want to know why you had to fake your own death?" her mother asked.
Anzu began to explain everything, first by how she met Bakura, until she had Yasuo. Her parents couldn't believe the story she had told them. It was very odd how Yami was acting while they were gone and how everything turned out. Soon they were beginning to accept the things that happened, and now they were happy for Anzu, the way they should feel. They were happy that Anzu was alive and happy.
"That was quite a story, Anzu. I would like to say then," Mr. Mazaki turned to Bakura, "welcome to the family Bakura." He extended his hand out and Bakura shook it and smiled.
"Yes, welcome both of you," Mrs. Mazaki said as she went to hug Bakura then Yasuo. Anzu couldn't help but tear a bit and smile. She was so happy that her parents accepted her family. "Well, we have so much catching up to do. I want to hear everything that's happened," Anzu's mother said taking a seat once again. Anzu just looked at Bakura and they began to tell the many things that happened.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After talking for many hours, they decided to have dinner. Anzu went to help her mother prepare dinner and Anzu's father talked with Bakura, asking many questions. Yasuo sat and listened to them. He was bored but what could he possibly do. Mrs. Mazaki saw that and wondered what she can let him do.
"Your son looks bored; maybe he should help us," Anzu turned around to look at Yasuo, it was true, he did look bored.
"Yasuo, come help me cut these vegetables," Anzu told him.
"But, Anzu, he's only seven, he shouldn't be near knives," Anzu's mother said worriedly.
"He's done it before, mom, and he's careful, don't worry," her mother was skeptical, but let Yasuo cut the vegetables.
As Yasuo helped with dinner, he started talking with his grandmother, asking so many questions about her. They talked about many things, and Anzu listened, knowing they would get along very well. After preparing dinner everyone sat at the table again and started eating, as well as starting conversations. All five got along very well; a few times there would be laughter.
When they were done eating, they split up again, Anzu and her mother sat at the table having a conversation and Bakura and Anzu's father sat at the seats that were across from the kitchen. Yasuo sat with his father, drawing on some paper that his grandmother gave him. It seemed that they had a lot to talk about, they talked until sundown, and that's when Anzu thought it was time to leave.
"I think it's time we left. It's a long walk home, and Yasuo seems to be getting tired."
"Stay for the night, Anzu, its way to late. Plus, tomorrow there is going to be a parade. You can take Yasuo, I'm sure he would like that," Yasuo heard what she said and ran up to them.
"A parade, I've never been to one. It'd be great if I could see it," Yasuo said as he looked to his mother.
"I don't know. There would be too many people. We could get caught, it's too risky," Anzu said, and Yasuo looked disappointed.
"I understand, mother," he said.
"Oh come now, it was too risky to come here, so I don't see why you can't let him see the parade. As long as you don't draw attention to yourself you'll be fine," Mrs. Mazaki said, having pleading eyes, and Yasuo copied. Anzu couldn't stand the way they looked at her, she didn't know what to do, and then she looked at Bakura who was listening to the conversation. He just nodded, so Anzu agreed.
"Alright, we'll go. But only for a short while," she said and Yasuo's face lighten up with a smile.
"Thank you, mom," he hugged her and jumped around.
"Alright, then, it's time for bed. I'm sure that parade will be early in the morning, so you better get some sleep," Anzu said. But Yasuo wouldn't stop jumping around, so Bakura had to grab him. He lifted him up and went to put him in bed, but he didn't know where exactly he was going to sleep.
"Um, where is he sleeping?" Mrs. Mazaki told him to follow him and they left.
"He really loves Yasuo, doesn't he?" Mrs. Mazaki asked.
"He is very proud of him and loves dearly," Anzu answered, "well, goodnight mom." Anzu kissed her mom on the cheek then left to go to her room. There she saw that her father was making a bed for Yasuo. Her bed was still there, thankfully, so she went to it and lay down. Bakura smiled at her and once Mr. Mazaki was done, he said goodnight to all three and left the room. Yasuo soon fell asleep when he lay down. Bakura kissed him on the cheek and went to sleep beside Anzu, he said goodnight, and they both fell asleep quickly.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was soon morning, and the whole family began to wake up. Yasuo was the first up and he was actually the one waking everyone up, since he was jumping around and yelling parade. He was excited and couldn't wait to go. Anzu could only shut him by making him breakfast, as Yasuo showed manners when eating. Anzu made breakfast for everyone and soon they were all full. But when Yasuo was done eating, he began to jump around again. Bakura couldn't really take and wanted to know when the parade will begin.
"It'll start soon, dear," Mrs. Mazaki told him and they all sat for a while, talking again. Yasuo stopped his noise and thought he should save some energy, he couldn't wait to go.
When Yasuo saw people starting to gather he knew the parade was going to begin soon, so it was time to leave.
"Ok, Yasuo, get your cloak and we'll go," Yasuo did as he was told, and quickly returned. Soon the family was ready to leave.
"Well, it was great seeing you again dear. But don't act like strangers, come visit whenever you can," Mrs. Mazaki told them, as she hugged Anzu, Yasuo, and even Bakura.
"We would go, but I think we're getting a bit too old. Plus all that noise, I don't think our ears could stand it," Mr. Mazaki told them.
"Its okay dad, but I'll make sure we visit. I just hope we don't get caught," Anzu said as she hugged her father. As everyone said goodbye, the three left and tried to blend in with the crowed that was beginning to form.
"Mom, I want to be all the way at the front, so let's hurry," Yasuo cried out as he ran.
"Yasuo, come back," Anzu cried after him. She looked at Bakura and they both ran after him. They found him standing in the crowed and son joined him.
"Yasuo, don't run form us like that, alright, especially here," Bakura told him.
"Ok, I'm sorry. It's just that I'm very excited!" Yasuo told him. Bakura just smiled, as did Anzu.
After a while of waiting the parade was beginning, and Yasuo enjoyed seeing everything. There were people who were flipping around, people who were throwing some gold coins, and other many great things. Yasuo would sometimes cry out 'look' or 'wow.' Anzu and Bakura were glad he was enjoying himself.
"Everything is so great," Yasuo said, and someone agreed with him.
"It really is," a small girl, looking about the same age as him, said to him. Yasuo looked at her and smiled.
"Hi, this is the first time I ever seen a parade. How about you?" Yasuo asked the little girl.
"First time, too," she told him. Yasuo noticed something in her arms it was a small cat.
"Cute cat," he commented, she smiled.
"Thanks," that was the last thing she said as she began watching the parade again. Yasuo did that as well. It was about an hour long and soon the main attraction was coming. It was the pharaoh riding his horse as many other horses surrounded him. They were all wearing some nice golden jewelry, and then there were some elephants that followed. As the pharaoh neared Anzu, Bakura and Yasuo, Anzu and Bakura made sure there faces were covered very well. Anzu could see Yami's face quite well in the distance, and there was something that didn't seem right, something about his eyes, but she preferred to ignore it, she just hoped nothing went wrong. But something happened that made everything go horribly wrong.
The little kitten that the little girl was holding was trying to get away. It had managed; it jumped out of her arms and ran off. The girl chased after it, and as she chased it, it had guided her to the middle of the parade making everything stop. All the animals got scared and it took many people to calm them down. The little girl was paralyzed with fear as she held her kitten tightly and one horse was going out of control. The horses lifted its front legs, and when it was going to bring it down, it would surely step on the girl. But Yasuo wouldn't allow it.
"Get out of the way!" Yasuo yelled as he ran to the girl. Anzu and Bakura tried calling him after him, telling him to come back, but Yasuo wouldn't listen. He ran up to the girl, his hood coming off, and as the horse was about to step on her, he pushed her and both of them fell. He held the girl tightly and when some people were able to calm all the animals, Yasuo looked around. He stood up and helped the girl up as well. "Are you okay?" He asked, the girl nodded her head, she was shaking, but she was alright. "You better go back to your parents, go now," he told her and she did as she was told. She ran off and Yasuo was about to go to is parents, but someone stopped him.
"You there!" a voice called out. Yasuo turned to face the person and saw that it was one of the guards, the one known as Bedius. He was on a horse, looking at him, almost like he was accusing him of something.
"Yes, sir?" Yasuo asked politely.
"You caused this entire commotion, didn't you?" Bedius said, so sure of himself.
"No sir, I didn't!" Yasuo looked away form him and at his parents. He could see them saying to him to keep calm. He nodded his head, and just waited.
"Liar!" Bedius yelled out.
"But I seriously didn't do anything! It's wasn't…" Yasuo was cut off by another voice.
"Bedius! What's going on?" the voice belonged to Yami, who looked quite angry; he as well was on a stallion.
"This boy is denying that he is responsible for this chaos, sir," Bedius said. Yami looked at Yasuo and went wide eyed, the boy looked almost familiar.
"What is your name, boy?" Yami asked him.
"Why should I tell you?" Yasuo rudely responded. Bakura and Anzu gasped, that wasn't going to make anything better.
"How dare you, talk to the pharaoh that way!" Bedius exclaimed as he took out his whip. Bedius was about to whip Yasuo, but Bakura wouldn't allow it. Bakura wasn't about to let his son get hurt by one of the pharaoh's goons. He ran as quickly as he could and he stood in front of Yasuo, just in time to have the whip roll around his arm and he was able to pull it away from the guard.
"Don't you ever try to hurt him," Bakura said to Bedius with a murderous tone. Bedius back away, but Yami wanted to know who this person, for he couldn't see the face due to the hood.
"The boy was merely being punished, and you have no right to stop it. Now stranger show me who you are," Bakura was hesitant, but if he didn't do as asked, he would be punished, showing who he was, h would still be punished. Yami yelled at him to hurry, so Bakura finally took off his hood. When everyone saw who it was, whipers could be heard all around. Some people saying, 'isn't that that great thief' or 'I haven't heard form him in a long time.' Bakura looked angrily at Yami and Yami could only smirk.
Bakura looked away and looked at Anzu, who had fear in her eyes. She was shaking knowing that Bakura was caught, meaning it was certain death. Bakura was looking at her telling her to not come near or say anything, but Anzu didn't just want to stand there. Maybe she had a chance to save them. Maybe she can convince Yami to let them go, but what were the chances of that. She looked around. There was no escape, guards were every where now. She began breathing hard and tried hard to think of something.
"Guards," she heard Yami say, "arrest him and take the boy as well." Anzu had to act now, she had to try.
"Noo!" she cried out as she ran to Bakura's side. Everyone who was watching were wondering what was going on. Yami looked at the new figure, the voice sounded familiar, but it couldn't be. "Pharaoh Yami, I beg of you, please, please let them go, I beg of you," Yami couldn't help but know the voice, but she was dead, wasn't she.
"Show your face," Yami demanded, but Bakura didn't want her to.
"Just arrest me and leave her out of this, leave the boy as well," Bakura said, hoping Yami would do so, but he ignored him.
"Show your face, woman," Anzu had no choice, she removed the hood, and there were more gasped than before. More whispers could be heard, ones such as 'Isn't she dead,' or 'Isn't that Anzu.' Yami was beyond shocked, all these years he thought she was dead, but now he finds out she is alive. "Anzu?" he had to make sure it was her.
"I beg of you to let them go," Anzu repeated. Yami face soon turned to an angry one. His eyes, to Anzu, seemed to have changed, they looked so empty now, like before, but why.
"The parade is over, everyone go home. Guards," Yami began, Anzu was afraid what was coming next, "take them all. I will deal with these three at the palace."
*Well, I guess that's what you guys were all waiting for, except Yami still doesn't know they are a family. He just assumes they're nothing but friends…hehe what a fool. But don't worry he'll find out soon. Yes very soon. Anywho, I want to ask you guys something:
How many of you think there is going to be a happy ending?
I feel like many people think that, but you guys are going to have to wait to find out how this ends. Only three more chapters people, so you'll find out soon. And I must say the last three are my favorite chapters, even if I haven't typed them out, I still know what's going to happen. I can tell you one thing, the next chapter is going to have warnings, you'll see why. I hope you people like this chapter, now I must type the next. Bye.

Chapter 17~ Mistake
Seven wonderful years have past since the day of Yasuo's birth. Anzu and the three males were now twenty-six years old, and were living happy lives. They always were together enjoying what life had to offer. Anzu and Bakura have become protective parents and love their son dearly. They all have changed, in some ways. Malik was still immature, but he improved a bit. Seto was the same, still the high priest, but he learned to loosen up and he and Malik were best friends. They were always together trying to create mischief…well Malik is, Seto just follows. Anzu and Bakura have become great parents, and are somewhat the same as they were before. Yasuo was still the same. Polite to those he likes, rude to those who anger him. He showed great respect for his parents and loved to hang around with Malik and Seto. All five were one big family, who cared for one another and always try to have a fun day. But something seemed to bother Anzu, and it didn't go unnoticed.
Actually, she has been feeling depressed for a few days, Bakura and the others tried their best to cheer her up, but nothing seemed to work. She wouldn't say what was bothering her, and they couldn't figure it out at all. Bakura was worried that she felt unhappy and wishes to leave, but what were the chances of that. But he couldn't help to ask her one day, and it made her laugh, which was the first in quite a while. She told him she would never think of leaving him, and she was happy, but something just made her feel a bit sad. He really wanted her to tell him, but she rather not.
Bakura wasn't the only one who wanted to know, Yasuo tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't say anything. Malik almost got her to say, but when he tricked her she got angry and started to shout at him. Seto wanted to know too, but he knew it wasn't his business; he will wait until she is ready to talk. Malik agreed with Seto after a while, he thought Anzu was acting this way because it was a woman thing or something. Bakura didn't give up, but he didn't pressure Anzu to tell him, Yasuo did the same.
A month and Anzu still felt the way she did, but she tried to act differently. She didn't want her family and friends to worry anymore, so she tried acting cheery and normal. It worked, but Bakura still knew something was wrong and really hoped that she will tell him soon. But she never said anything, so he had to ask again, he had to know. He though it would be best to ask her when they were alone, most likely it would be best to ask her when they were going to sleep. So one night, he finally began the conversation.
"Anzu?" he asked, as he lay on his bed. Anzu who was changing into her night clothes, just hummed. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure," Anzu simply said as she was done dressing herself and got on the bed. She made sure she was facing him.
"What's wrong?" Bakura asked simply, but Anzu acted as if she didn't understand.
"What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean. You have been acting quite gloomy during the past month. You really should tell me, let it out, maybe you'll feel better," Bakura hoped that worked, but she looked a little hesitant.
"It's really no big deal, it's just…just don' worry about it," Anzu told him, but Bakura didn't give up.
"Anzu, tell me what's bothering you and I'm sure I can help," Anzu looked at him. She knew she could tell him, but then she knew that they wouldn't b able to do it. She really wants to do on thing, and it has been bothering because she can't do it. It was all said during Seto's plan.
"I want," Anzu began and Bakura looked attentively at her, "I really wish to see my parents. I want to go back and see them, but…"
"We can't," Bakura finished, but he saw how sad Anzu had become because of that. So this was the reason she was feeling depressed, she missed her family. Why wouldn't she, it's been about ten years since she has last seen them.
He felt bad for Anzu, but what could he do? If they go back to that city, there are chances they could get caught. Ever since they faked Anzu's death, Seto had told them that the pharaoh had made the guards work harder. There were more roaming the city, they were better trained and it showed. There have been cases where thieves have been caught, and usually they would be able to get away, even those who are experts at thievery were caught. It is rare for anyone who lived in Crime to go to that city, most of the time, people would to other cuties that are a bit farther. It was too risky to go to Chao, but he couldn't stand seeing Anzu this way.
"We should go," Bakura said simply but Anzu looked surprised at what he said.
"Are you serious, but we can't, if we go…" Anzu was stopped by Bakura, he already the risks.
"I know that, Anzu. But I really think you should see you're parents. But, they'll be very surprised when they see you, since you are supposed to be dead."
"That's true, but are you sure I should go?" Anzu asked, she really wanted to, but if it was too risky, she wouldn't go.
"You're not going on your own. I'm coming too, as well as Yasuo," Bakura said, and he could see that she was about to protest, but he stopped her, "I know if all of us go, it'll be hard to get by. But, I think your parents deserve to see their grandchild, and I might be able to get you to the house without being noticed."
"Alright, then, we go. But we better not tell Seto, he will not allow it," Anzu told him. Bakura nodded his head, kissed her, said goodnight, and they both went to sleep. Anzu was happy, but she couldn't get the feeling something is going to happen…something bad. She wished she didn't tell Bakura what was bothering her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was the next day, and at the city of Chao, a special event is going to take place tomorrow. Yami, sitting calmly, is listening to all of his workers about the event. It was going to be a parade, something that Yami had thought of. The reason for it is because he realized that the people of this city looked very gloomy and thought this could cheer them up. He also thought it might cheer him up. Ever since Anzu died, he couldn't get his mind off of her, he has been depressed ever since her death. He missed her and only wished that he could have saved her the night she was attacked. If only she was still here, right now he'd be enjoying himself with her, preparing this event.
Yami stood up from his throne, the people who were talking all left, and went to finish off some things off. He walked around the palace observing what people were doing. It has been very busy in the palace, movement everywhere, and the parade was all the people could talk about in the city. Well, he might as well enjoy himself, it might help to get mind off of things. He sighed as he walked some more and then he spotted Jounouchi, trying hard to control some horses. Yami didn't know he wandered out of the palace.
"Need help, Jou?" he asked the struggling Jou.
"Nah, Yami, its okay," Jou said when he finally got the horse calmed down. "That's the last time I insult this horse," Yami couldn't help but chuckle.
"So how is everything going here?" he asked.
"Great, these horses should be ready by parade time," Jou answered.
"Good to hear. I hope that everything will go well on that day."
"I'm sure it will, don't worry," Jou assured. Yami nodded his head, and left Jou to his work. Yami didn't know why, but he really felt that something was going to happen, and it involved someone he knew. But who could it be? He didn't know whether to worry or not.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Anzu and Bakura woke up the next morning they quickly remembered what they discussed last night. They talked a bit more about in the morning and have decided that they would go back that day. It would be a short visit, depending how everything goes. They both told Malik and Yasuo about it, Malik didn't think it was a good idea but Yasuo really wanted to go.
"You mean I can meet my grandparents! That's great, we should go," Yasuo cheered and really hoped to go.
"I don't think it's a good idea, you don't know what might happen," Malik pointed out, "and besides, what are you going to tell Seto. You know he is going to be upset about it, and if he comes and you're not here, I'm going to have to suffer."
"But Seto won't come, Mawik," Yasuo said, he knew how to pronounce his name properly, but he was used to calling him that.
"What do you mean, dear," Anzu asked.
"Seto said that he won't be coming for the next few days. He said an event was going to happen and he needed to be there, especially since the pharaoh told him to. Seto told you that," Yasuo said.
"Oh, yeah, that's true he did," Anzu remembered, he said it a few days ago.
"So, we can go and Seto won't know, are you happy now, Malik?" Bakura said.
"Yeah, yeah, but I still think you shouldn't go. You never know what might happen," Malik warned.
"We know that, but I really want to see my parents, Malik. I miss them, I really just want to know how they are," Anzu told him, and Malik understood, but he really hoped they got there safely.
"Fine, just go, it's not like I can stop you," he said as he went to get something to eat. Anzu smiled and she looked at Bakura and Yasuo who were also smiling. They all decided to leave when they finished breakfast.
Once they were full of food in their stomach, they all went to get ready to leave. Anzu and Bakura wore their cloaks, as well as Yasuo who got one form his mother, since he asked for one. He knew someday it would come in handy. The three looked at each other and were ready to leave; hopefully they wouldn't attract attention to themselves.
"I'm sure you won't," said Malik, "I heard a lot of people have been wearing cloaks, its fashion to them." Anzu and Bakura just though tit ws weird, but they were thankful.
"Okay, then let's go," Bakura said and the three went out the door, and walked to Chao.
It didn't take long to get there, they were rushing, but when they reached the edge of the hill and looked down at the city they had to be careful. Bakura went into the city first and told Anzu and Yasuo to follow when he told them to. He had to make there where no guards around. Luckily for them, none were in sight. They moved quickly, they would ignore places where there were many people, and when they finally could see Anzu house far in the distance, they stopped. They didn't realize, but they stopped in the alley where they first met.
"Are you ready to go?" Bakura asked.
"I don't know, I'm nervous," she said honestly.
"Don't worry mother, everything will be fine. We're here, so we might as well go," Yasuo comforted her. She smiled, took a deep breath and nodded to Bakura that she was ready to go. Bakura nodded as well, and left there side as he went quickly to the next building. He looked around, no one to be seen; he could tell that there was probably no one near Anzu's old house. So he told his family to follow him, and they went directly to the house. When they were in front of it, Anzu didn't know whether she could knock, but she had to, they were there; this is why they took this risk. Bakura looked at her, it was now or never.
"Come on, Anzu, knock on the door and you'll see them. They will be thrilled to see you," he told her, so she took a deep breath and knocked.
They waited for a few moments, and then the door opened. At the door stood Anzu's mother, who had gotten quite old, Anzu noticed that hr hair was getting white and wrinkles were noticeable. But she still looked the same to Anzu, she was so happy to see her.
"May I help you," Mrs. Mazaki asked. With hesitation, Anzu took off her hood and it made the old woman gasped. She knew who it was, even if Anzu's hair was much longer than before and looked much older, she knew by looking at her eyes that this was her daughter. "A…An…Anzu?" The woman felt like she was about to cry, her daughter was suppose to be dead, but here before her stood her daughter, older and healthy.
"Hello mom," Anzu could only say, but saying 'mom' made Mrs. Mazaki begin to tear.
"It is you, I can't believe it. Oh Anzu," Anzu's mother embraced her daughter and held her tightly, crying, never feeling so happy. Anzu hugged her back and could feel a bit of tears fall from her eyes. After staying like that for a while, Mrs. Mazaki let go and just looked at Anzu. "Oh my, I'm sorry, I can't believe I let you stay out here, come in, come in. I want to hear everything; I want to know what happened."
"Mom, wait, before…I need you to meet some people," Anzu told her, her mother looked confused, then she finally noticed two other figures standing at her door. She didn't like where this was going.
"Alright, dear, then get inside," she told them and they all came in. All of them took a seat at the table and sat down quietly for a moment. "Well, before you begin, I should get you're father." Mrs. Mazaki got up and went to her room, where a sleeping Mr. Mazaki was. After a few moments they heard a yell and Mr. Mazaki came in running and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Hi, dad," Anzu said, and her father practically did the same thing as her mother, he embraced her and held her tightly. Bakura and Yasuo, who still had their hoods on, just looked at each other, feeling a bit sorry for Anzu.
"I can't believe it's you. I thought…thought you were, oh Anzu, you don't know how much we missed you," Mr. Mazaki said to her, Anzu just smiled and hugged him.
"Anzu, you have a lot to explain," Anzu's mom said, and Anzu nodded her head.
"Yeah, so you guys better take a seat," both her parents did that, looking at the hooded figures, wondering who they were. "Well you must be wondering who these people are," both her parents nodded. "Before I tell you, you have to promise me that you won't freak, okay."
"All right, we promise," Mr. Mazaki said.
"Guys take off you're hoods," Bakura and Yasuo did as she said and revealed their faces. Anzu's parents only knew one, and seeing him they freaked out.
"Oh my Ra, it's you! That thief…you took her didn't you…" Mrs. Mazaki accused. Her husband was trying to calm her down, but he was glaring at Bakura as if he was accusing him of something too.
"Mom, you promised you wouldn't freak and he didn't take me anywhere," Anzu's mother calmed down a bit.
"Why is he here Anzu?" Mrs. Mazaki strictly said.
"Because, mom, he's my husband," Anzu really thought it would be hard to say those words in front of her parents, but she managed it.
"What?!!" both her parents shouted.
"You have to be joking," Mr. Mazaki said.
"No, I'm not, and the boy you see is my son," Anzu told them, now they were more shocked, but they didn't say anything. The room was in a very uncomfortable silence, but Bakura broke it.
"You shouldn't be upset with Anzu," he began, "she only did what she thought was best. I love your daughter, she loves me, and we have a son, who we love. I just hope you can accept that."
"Did he rape you; is that the reason why you married him?" Mrs. Mazaki asked.
"No, of course not! Mother, I married him because I love him, like he said. We met and we fell in love," Anzu told her.
"But, Anzu, of all people, I thought you…" Mr. Mazaki was cut off.
"Dad, you love mom and she loves you, and that's why you married her. That's the reason I married Bakura. You may not agree with it, but I don't care. I have been living a happy life with my family, they are everything to me, and even if you say something it wouldn't matter. I only came here to see you guys again because I missed you, but if you never want me to come back, I understand," Anzu parents looked at each other, they knew their daughter well enough to know that she would make decisions carefully, so maybe her decision was very well thought out.
"We want to see you again, but we want to know why you had to fake your own death?" her mother asked.
Anzu began to explain everything, first by how she met Bakura, until she had Yasuo. Her parents couldn't believe the story she had told them. It was very odd how Yami was acting while they were gone and how everything turned out. Soon they were beginning to accept the things that happened, and now they were happy for Anzu, the way they should feel. They were happy that Anzu was alive and happy.
"That was quite a story, Anzu. I would like to say then," Mr. Mazaki turned to Bakura, "welcome to the family Bakura." He extended his hand out and Bakura shook it and smiled.
"Yes, welcome both of you," Mrs. Mazaki said as she went to hug Bakura then Yasuo. Anzu couldn't help but tear a bit and smile. She was so happy that her parents accepted her family. "Well, we have so much catching up to do. I want to hear everything that's happened," Anzu's mother said taking a seat once again. Anzu just looked at Bakura and they began to tell the many things that happened.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After talking for many hours, they decided to have dinner. Anzu went to help her mother prepare dinner and Anzu's father talked with Bakura, asking many questions. Yasuo sat and listened to them. He was bored but what could he possibly do. Mrs. Mazaki saw that and wondered what she can let him do.
"Your son looks bored; maybe he should help us," Anzu turned around to look at Yasuo, it was true, he did look bored.
"Yasuo, come help me cut these vegetables," Anzu told him.
"But, Anzu, he's only seven, he shouldn't be near knives," Anzu's mother said worriedly.
"He's done it before, mom, and he's careful, don't worry," her mother was skeptical, but let Yasuo cut the vegetables.
As Yasuo helped with dinner, he started talking with his grandmother, asking so many questions about her. They talked about many things, and Anzu listened, knowing they would get along very well. After preparing dinner everyone sat at the table again and started eating, as well as starting conversations. All five got along very well; a few times there would be laughter.
When they were done eating, they split up again, Anzu and her mother sat at the table having a conversation and Bakura and Anzu's father sat at the seats that were across from the kitchen. Yasuo sat with his father, drawing on some paper that his grandmother gave him. It seemed that they had a lot to talk about, they talked until sundown, and that's when Anzu thought it was time to leave.
"I think it's time we left. It's a long walk home, and Yasuo seems to be getting tired."
"Stay for the night, Anzu, its way to late. Plus, tomorrow there is going to be a parade. You can take Yasuo, I'm sure he would like that," Yasuo heard what she said and ran up to them.
"A parade, I've never been to one. It'd be great if I could see it," Yasuo said as he looked to his mother.
"I don't know. There would be too many people. We could get caught, it's too risky," Anzu said, and Yasuo looked disappointed.
"I understand, mother," he said.
"Oh come now, it was too risky to come here, so I don't see why you can't let him see the parade. As long as you don't draw attention to yourself you'll be fine," Mrs. Mazaki said, having pleading eyes, and Yasuo copied. Anzu couldn't stand the way they looked at her, she didn't know what to do, and then she looked at Bakura who was listening to the conversation. He just nodded, so Anzu agreed.
"Alright, we'll go. But only for a short while," she said and Yasuo's face lighten up with a smile.
"Thank you, mom," he hugged her and jumped around.
"Alright, then, it's time for bed. I'm sure that parade will be early in the morning, so you better get some sleep," Anzu said. But Yasuo wouldn't stop jumping around, so Bakura had to grab him. He lifted him up and went to put him in bed, but he didn't know where exactly he was going to sleep.
"Um, where is he sleeping?" Mrs. Mazaki told him to follow him and they left.
"He really loves Yasuo, doesn't he?" Mrs. Mazaki asked.
"He is very proud of him and loves dearly," Anzu answered, "well, goodnight mom." Anzu kissed her mom on the cheek then left to go to her room. There she saw that her father was making a bed for Yasuo. Her bed was still there, thankfully, so she went to it and lay down. Bakura smiled at her and once Mr. Mazaki was done, he said goodnight to all three and left the room. Yasuo soon fell asleep when he lay down. Bakura kissed him on the cheek and went to sleep beside Anzu, he said goodnight, and they both fell asleep quickly.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was soon morning, and the whole family began to wake up. Yasuo was the first up and he was actually the one waking everyone up, since he was jumping around and yelling parade. He was excited and couldn't wait to go. Anzu could only shut him by making him breakfast, as Yasuo showed manners when eating. Anzu made breakfast for everyone and soon they were all full. But when Yasuo was done eating, he began to jump around again. Bakura couldn't really take and wanted to know when the parade will begin.
"It'll start soon, dear," Mrs. Mazaki told him and they all sat for a while, talking again. Yasuo stopped his noise and thought he should save some energy, he couldn't wait to go.
When Yasuo saw people starting to gather he knew the parade was going to begin soon, so it was time to leave.
"Ok, Yasuo, get your cloak and we'll go," Yasuo did as he was told, and quickly returned. Soon the family was ready to leave.
"Well, it was great seeing you again dear. But don't act like strangers, come visit whenever you can," Mrs. Mazaki told them, as she hugged Anzu, Yasuo, and even Bakura.
"We would go, but I think we're getting a bit too old. Plus all that noise, I don't think our ears could stand it," Mr. Mazaki told them.
"Its okay dad, but I'll make sure we visit. I just hope we don't get caught," Anzu said as she hugged her father. As everyone said goodbye, the three left and tried to blend in with the crowed that was beginning to form.
"Mom, I want to be all the way at the front, so let's hurry," Yasuo cried out as he ran.
"Yasuo, come back," Anzu cried after him. She looked at Bakura and they both ran after him. They found him standing in the crowed and son joined him.
"Yasuo, don't run form us like that, alright, especially here," Bakura told him.
"Ok, I'm sorry. It's just that I'm very excited!" Yasuo told him. Bakura just smiled, as did Anzu.
After a while of waiting the parade was beginning, and Yasuo enjoyed seeing everything. There were people who were flipping around, people who were throwing some gold coins, and other many great things. Yasuo would sometimes cry out 'look' or 'wow.' Anzu and Bakura were glad he was enjoying himself.
"Everything is so great," Yasuo said, and someone agreed with him.
"It really is," a small girl, looking about the same age as him, said to him. Yasuo looked at her and smiled.
"Hi, this is the first time I ever seen a parade. How about you?" Yasuo asked the little girl.
"First time, too," she told him. Yasuo noticed something in her arms it was a small cat.
"Cute cat," he commented, she smiled.
"Thanks," that was the last thing she said as she began watching the parade again. Yasuo did that as well. It was about an hour long and soon the main attraction was coming. It was the pharaoh riding his horse as many other horses surrounded him. They were all wearing some nice golden jewelry, and then there were some elephants that followed. As the pharaoh neared Anzu, Bakura and Yasuo, Anzu and Bakura made sure there faces were covered very well. Anzu could see Yami's face quite well in the distance, and there was something that didn't seem right, something about his eyes, but she preferred to ignore it, she just hoped nothing went wrong. But something happened that made everything go horribly wrong.
The little kitten that the little girl was holding was trying to get away. It had managed; it jumped out of her arms and ran off. The girl chased after it, and as she chased it, it had guided her to the middle of the parade making everything stop. All the animals got scared and it took many people to calm them down. The little girl was paralyzed with fear as she held her kitten tightly and one horse was going out of control. The horses lifted its front legs, and when it was going to bring it down, it would surely step on the girl. But Yasuo wouldn't allow it.
"Get out of the way!" Yasuo yelled as he ran to the girl. Anzu and Bakura tried calling him after him, telling him to come back, but Yasuo wouldn't listen. He ran up to the girl, his hood coming off, and as the horse was about to step on her, he pushed her and both of them fell. He held the girl tightly and when some people were able to calm all the animals, Yasuo looked around. He stood up and helped the girl up as well. "Are you okay?" He asked, the girl nodded her head, she was shaking, but she was alright. "You better go back to your parents, go now," he told her and she did as she was told. She ran off and Yasuo was about to go to is parents, but someone stopped him.
"You there!" a voice called out. Yasuo turned to face the person and saw that it was one of the guards, the one known as Bedius. He was on a horse, looking at him, almost like he was accusing him of something.
"Yes, sir?" Yasuo asked politely.
"You caused this entire commotion, didn't you?" Bedius said, so sure of himself.
"No sir, I didn't!" Yasuo looked away form him and at his parents. He could see them saying to him to keep calm. He nodded his head, and just waited.
"Liar!" Bedius yelled out.
"But I seriously didn't do anything! It's wasn't…" Yasuo was cut off by another voice.
"Bedius! What's going on?" the voice belonged to Yami, who looked quite angry; he as well was on a stallion.
"This boy is denying that he is responsible for this chaos, sir," Bedius said. Yami looked at Yasuo and went wide eyed, the boy looked almost familiar.
"What is your name, boy?" Yami asked him.
"Why should I tell you?" Yasuo rudely responded. Bakura and Anzu gasped, that wasn't going to make anything better.
"How dare you, talk to the pharaoh that way!" Bedius exclaimed as he took out his whip. Bedius was about to whip Yasuo, but Bakura wouldn't allow it. Bakura wasn't about to let his son get hurt by one of the pharaoh's goons. He ran as quickly as he could and he stood in front of Yasuo, just in time to have the whip roll around his arm and he was able to pull it away from the guard.
"Don't you ever try to hurt him," Bakura said to Bedius with a murderous tone. Bedius back away, but Yami wanted to know who this person, for he couldn't see the face due to the hood.
"The boy was merely being punished, and you have no right to stop it. Now stranger show me who you are," Bakura was hesitant, but if he didn't do as asked, he would be punished, showing who he was, h would still be punished. Yami yelled at him to hurry, so Bakura finally took off his hood. When everyone saw who it was, whipers could be heard all around. Some people saying, 'isn't that that great thief' or 'I haven't heard form him in a long time.' Bakura looked angrily at Yami and Yami could only smirk.
Bakura looked away and looked at Anzu, who had fear in her eyes. She was shaking knowing that Bakura was caught, meaning it was certain death. Bakura was looking at her telling her to not come near or say anything, but Anzu didn't just want to stand there. Maybe she had a chance to save them. Maybe she can convince Yami to let them go, but what were the chances of that. She looked around. There was no escape, guards were every where now. She began breathing hard and tried hard to think of something.
"Guards," she heard Yami say, "arrest him and take the boy as well." Anzu had to act now, she had to try.
"Noo!" she cried out as she ran to Bakura's side. Everyone who was watching were wondering what was going on. Yami looked at the new figure, the voice sounded familiar, but it couldn't be. "Pharaoh Yami, I beg of you, please, please let them go, I beg of you," Yami couldn't help but know the voice, but she was dead, wasn't she.
"Show your face," Yami demanded, but Bakura didn't want her to.
"Just arrest me and leave her out of this, leave the boy as well," Bakura said, hoping Yami would do so, but he ignored him.
"Show your face, woman," Anzu had no choice, she removed the hood, and there were more gasped than before. More whispers could be heard, ones such as 'Isn't she dead,' or 'Isn't that Anzu.' Yami was beyond shocked, all these years he thought she was dead, but now he finds out she is alive. "Anzu?" he had to make sure it was her.
"I beg of you to let them go," Anzu repeated. Yami face soon turned to an angry one. His eyes, to Anzu, seemed to have changed, they looked so empty now, like before, but why.
"The parade is over, everyone go home. Guards," Yami began, Anzu was afraid what was coming next, "take them all. I will deal with these three at the palace."
*Well, I guess that's what you guys were all waiting for, except Yami still doesn't know they are a family. He just assumes they're nothing but friends…hehe what a fool. But don't worry he'll find out soon. Yes very soon. Anywho, I want to ask you guys something:
How many of you think there is going to be a happy ending?
I feel like many people think that, but you guys are going to have to wait to find out how this ends. Only three more chapters people, so you'll find out soon. And I must say the last three are my favorite chapters, even if I haven't typed them out, I still know what's going to happen. I can tell you one thing, the next chapter is going to have warnings, you'll see why. I hope you people like this chapter, now I must type the next. Bye.
